Grandmother Moses Speaks

I was minding our own ancient business, making maple and brown sugar oatmeal for my constantly and instantly devouring daughter, when GrandMother Moses of Poetic Narrative broke into my day: frankly, I didn't even know She could speak Racism and Patriarchalism are the inside Angry and outside Terrified voices perpetuating retributive injustice and capital-value monopolistic monocultural monotheistic win/lose competitive models of Left v Right, West v East, North v South Ego v EcoHabitat VerbalMind v NonVerbalEmbodied multiculturing intelligence with ego/eco-cooperative therapeutic intent. Then the kettle began to whistle a just-in-time win/win ecopolitical reminder we can choose to compare and contrast across a spectrum of win/lose through lose/lose toward appositional co-arising win/win with sufficient just-right/left out/in hot water and maple with brown sugar oatmeal to feed our constantly instantly hungry potential EarthMothers.
